It's no shocker that 'Descpacito' is still top of the Irish charts. You can't escape from it.
It feels as though it follows you wherever you go. In shops. In restaurants. In bars. On your Facebook feed. In ads. And, if you manage to find a safe space away from the song for just a moment, someone fills the void by singing it under their breath, or, as I have witnessed, loudly and drunkenly on the 39a.
This week marks the Spanish song's 10th week in the number one slot, following a trend of stagnancy in the charts; before 'Despacito,' it was Ed Sheeran's 'Shape Of You,' which held the number one spot for 14 weeks straight (it's still going strong at #12).
Also retaining their places from last week, in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, respectively, are 'Unforgettable' by French Montana, Ft. Swae Lee; 'Wild Thoughts' by Dj Khaled, Ft. Rihanna and Tiller; and 'Mama' by Jonas Blue and featuring William Singe.
The only single new to the Top 10 this week is 'Feels,' the new Calvin Harris song featuring Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, and Big Sean.
There's really no point showing you 'Despacito' again, but check out the other Top 5 singles below.
